I am a regular guest at the Wikipedia starting somewhere around mid-2001. I have worked on and contributed to many articles. I occasionally do article translations for the Dutch Wikipedia. I write mainly about topics that interest me. I live in Eindhoven, I have a Master's degree in electrical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology. Over the years, I have specialized myself in control theory, signal processing and software development. I like to spend my spare time climbing. ---- As an experiment, I have written a User:Ap/LaTeX conversion utility in Perl to convert Wikipedia articles to LaTeX. The conversion is still a bit rough around the edges. The script retrieves the articles in namespace 0 (articles only) and converts the Wiki syntax to something TeX can understand. For those familiar with LaTeX: I have used the book documentclass on A4 paper with margins set at 1cm all around, 10pt font size, two columns, articles start new sections. Redirects are included. Pictures are not included. I used a snapshot from around 2003-08-19. * 0: 4 * 1: 1186 * 2: 197 * 3: 70 * 4: 53 * 5: 35 * 6: 43 * 7: 32 * 8: 36 * 9: 31 * A: 4012 * B: 3463 * C: 4897 * D: 2328 * E: 2436 * F: 2268 * G: 2562 * H: 3103 * I: 1361 * J: 1833 * K: 1044 * L: 5278 * M: 4099 * N: 1878 * O: 1210 * P: 3847 * Q: 211 * R: 2344 * S: 5093 * T: 2742 * U: 1278 * V: 761 * W: 2304 * X: 76 * Y: 243 * Z: 197 * other: unknown When processed like this, the English language Wikipedia counts 62555 pages. If we were to print it on paper, using as a rough measure 500 pages = 2.5 cm or approx. 1 inch, this would correspond to roughly 250 cm (about 100 inch) of shelf space.

== LaTeX conversion script == Your conversion script to LaTeX sounds very interesting. Do you have it available for download somewhere? User:Colin Marquardt 14:36, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC) : Thanks for the intererst. No, I don't have it available for download just yet. User:Ap 16:15, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC) Why did you blank Procedural knowledge? If you want it deleted, just let me know... --User:Jiang 09:21, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC) == Sampler == Re: Sampler as a disambiguation page. I don't disagree that 'sampler' is a much used term for many things. However, the article that is now Digital sampler has problems because it talks about the whole gamut of sampling, including instruments that are not digital. I don't know what should be done to fix the problem. User:Sugarfish 17:38, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC) : I moved Digital sampler to Sampler (musical instrument) to remove the issue of non-digital samplers. User:Sugarfish 17:44, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC) == Merging of various articles == Nice job with the merging of various duplicated articles. :) --User:Seav 12:20, Sep 18, 2003 (UTC) : Thanks for the compliment. User:Ap 17:35, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC) Well done! The Thirty Years' War badly needed merging. It'll take a lot more to make a fully coherent narrative, but I'm glad someone has made the start! User:Djnjwd 19:43, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC) : Thanks, this was definetely one of the most complicated merges I have done up until now. I completely agree with you it still needs more work. User:Ap 20:02, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC) == Charmed == All of the information that you merged was incorrect. (ie: Prue was not the War god in the Goddess episode, since she had been killed off years before. (regardles, that type of information (one episode's plot) isnt relevant for an article about a tv series. In additoin, Mitzy, mable etc Halliwell are not the names of any regular charactars in the show. I believe that one of the episodes had a trivial charactar, possibly named mitzy who might have pertended to be one of the halliwells, but all the information concerning mitzy is incorrect even if she was a charactar. The article said Pheobe had power to move objects with her mind which was infact incorrect. I assumed that a vandal did this because the article is so absurd, and that you had inadvertantly merged the vandal's work into the mainstream article. User:Alexandros 22:11, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC) *I am editing the charmed article to include the correct information but there were only a few things that were correct in the previous merged version, most of which are irrelevant anyway. Also, the merged article was incoherent. Next time try not to merge articles that you dont know anything about unless you are pretty sure the info is correct. Sorry for the trouble. User:Alexandros 23:06, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC) * Your modifications to Charmed are very helpful. There is now some background, and it all flows better in a synopsis paragraph. I would add more about Cole, but I have more important articles to work on. Ill save this for a time when i have a headache or something. Good work! User:Alexandros == Climbing == I'm just in the process of renovating the List of climbing topics. You are a recent editor of that page, so feel free to revert my changes if you don't approve of them. User:Stewartadcock 23:25, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC) : Dont't worry. I keep tabs on those pages and I don't hesitate to change what I don't like. I must say that your work so far has been outstanding. It's always nice to see another climber on Wikipedia. -- User:Ap 00:55, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC) I've written the bulk of an article about climbing equipment, currently at User:Stewartadcock/Climbing_equipment. Maybe you'd like to take a look and make some comments? I've got some photos to add at some point. User:Stewartadcock 06:39, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) ==Wikipedia:WikiProject Knots== Hello, I noticed you reformatted some of the knots articles. I've started Wikipedia:WikiProject Knots to standardized knots articles. Would you like to join this project and develop a standard format for knots articles? Thanks. User:Samw 04:24, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC) ==Entity-relationship diagram== Why in the world would you move Entity-Relationship diagram, with its grossly inappropriately capitalized "R", to Entity-Relationship Diagram, which is even worse? (I fixed it, and all of the links. Within the article there was a non-working link to Social Security Number, which didn't work for the same reason. I changed it to social security number. Why do people worship capitals like this?) User:Michael Hardy 01:02, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC) : That changes dates back from May last year. If you had looked at my contributions list, you would notice that more often than not, I redirect to lowercased pages. In this case, however, the books I have on this subject, use the Entity-Relationship Diagram spelling, hence my redirect. -- User:Ap 19:00, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC) == Hello! language integration... == Hi Ap, Thanks for your steady work on this project. I'm always sad to see eager contributors and then find that they contributed for six months a year ago and have disappeared... I noticed that you were the person who originally typed up Meta:Proposal on language integration, which interests me greatly. Do you still think about these issues? User:Sj+">User Talk:Sj 03:51, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC) == License ?== Hi Ap, could you tell me if :Image:Logistic-burification.png is GFDL or not ? We use it on french wikipedia. Thanks in advance. User:Tipiac 20:31, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC) : The image is in the public domain. I updated the page to reflect that. == TeX == Could you work out how thick the english 'pedia would be now that we are up to 400 000 articles? 20 metres? more? User:The bellman 03:28, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC) == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "" with "". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my User talk:Ram-Man. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man == Image tag == Thanks for uploading :Image:Michelson interferometer schematic.png. I notice it currently doesn't have an Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or if you claim Wikipedia:Fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, User:Aqua008 07:26, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC) == old business, please help == Hi, Back in September of 2003 you moved materials into Present-day_proponents_of_establishing_cooperative_relationships_between_humans_and_horses that somebody else wrote. I am catching a very negative reaction from somebody who holds me responsible for the content, and some of what s/he says seems to me to be an ad hominem attack. It would be helpful if you could remember what article you moved the laudatory stuff about Monty Roberts from. Thanks. User:Patrick0Moran 05:15, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) : The content was originally located on Horse-breaking. User:Ap 19:41, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Alphabetical order, is (at least for that range) according to ASCII. Note that this means that "a" comes after "Z", compare and . The latter gives no page names starting with h, i, j, etc., because they do not exist, only names starting with special characters that come after z.
